First off I just want to say that I really like your website and it has great teaching tools on it.
I have a daughter who is 10 and a son who is 5 and are starting to show interest in softball and baseball. Having played baseball in HS and at a JC, the part I felt missing from my game was strength. Is there a baseball specific work-out regimen and at what age would you recommend that kids start a program like that?
Swing Smarter Response:
Hi Elton, and this is a very very good question to ask, so I know the Swing Smarter community thanks you. I like that you're thinking about strength training already for your kids. I'm a NASM certified fitness trainer and I can tell you in all honesty to hold off on strength training until about age 13 for both.
For now, just keep them active in every sport they enjoy playing, preferably ones they have to do quite a bit of running or extreme discipline training in, they sleep better at night ;) Along with playing baseball/softball, have them in sports like soccer, basketball, racquetball, cross country, lacrosse, martial arts (my favorite), gymnastics, and/or dance. Chess is also good for mental training.
When they reach the ripe old age of 13, then we can start them on body weight only fitness training. Please note: they can start on light weight-lifting at that time (low sets, high rep strength endurance training), but personally I'd like to see them handle their own body weight first.
There are a couple articles we did on SwingSmarter.com's Albert Pujols inspired 30 Day Bat Speed Challenge, that deals with body weight to light medicine ball core training HERE.
You see Elton, when those hormones kick in, their bodies will become very awkward, and with bones, muscles, and joints developing at such a rapid pace, it's better to let them grow using their own body weight for resistance.
As of now, just enjoy watching them grow, and in a couple years, maybe start your daughter on some of the core training in the Bat Speed Challenge ;) Good luck Elton!

Barnet council's Policy & Resources committee (P&R) has agreed to look at retaining a diving facility at Copthall Leisure Centre after the #SaveBarnetDiving campaign presented their petition of 3,700+ signatures to last night's meeting (1 Sep).
In a member's item to the Committee Labour councillor and committee member, Alison Moore, called for a further options appraisal to be brought back to the committee that includes the diving boards alongside the proposed expanded swimming facilities.
The diving boards are currently used by the Tom Daley Diving Academy which coaches 28 local children aged 5-11, and three other diving clubs for beginners, intermediates and advanced divers, as well as a scuba diving club. #SaveBarnetDiving estimate around 100 children attend coached diving sessions every week at Copthall, and there is currently a waiting list for children who want to attend.
Conservative-run Barnet council is planning to scrap the diving boards whilst spending up to £30 million to redevelop the two council leisure centres in the borough. The cost of re-providing the diving boards is £676,000, but the council argues that the diving facility reduces income from swimming, which means the council has to subsidise the leisure centres.
Labour councillors highlighted at the meeting that the current proposals will bring in around £1.5m additional income per year, and that it is possible to integrate the diving boards in the proposed learner/training pool with a movable floor without reducing space for swimming. They have asked the Conservative administration to provide the financial projections which they say show the diving facility is not viable, but have not published.
Labour councillors also pointed out that the consultation results did not accurately reflect the level of interest in diving that had emerged as a result of the #SaveBarnetDiving campaign, and that the decision to withdraw the diving facility therefore needed to be reviewed.
Following last night's meeting, further options will now be brought back to the next Policy & Resources Committee on 5th October.
Cllr Moore said: "I welcome the decision to have another look at the options for diving. It is now quite clear that the consultation results that informed the decision to withdraw the facility in no way accurately reflect the level of interest in diving in the Borough.
"The #SaveBarnetDiving petitioners presented their case eloquently about just how important diving is to these children's lives.
"We need to be supporting the dreams of Barnet children who have set their hearts on competing in future Olympic games - not crushing them."
East Finchley Labour councillor, Arjun Mittra, also addressed the committee, saying: "I was lobbied at my surgery by a school aged constituent who attends the diving pool, who asked me to represent him at this meeting and give him a voice.
"He was enthused to diving by the London Olympics in 2012, took up the sport and hasn't looked back since. It has become a real joy and focus for his life, and who knows where his talents may take him, if only we can keep giving him the opportunities?
"I urge this committee to continue to provide the opportunities for our children and residents to excel. If we want to live up to our motto of "putting the community first" then we have to have some ambition, and take the plunge..."
1. A copy of Cllr Moore's member's item follows:
Member's Item for 1 Sep P&R: Cllr Alison Moore
The current Rio Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics have shown what central and long-term planning and consistent investment can do for Team GB successes, and to encourage greater take-up of sport amongst both young and older people. The decision to scrap the diving facility at Copthall Leisure centre as part of plans to re-develop the centre is short sighted in comparison.
The diving boards are currently used by the Tom Daley Diving Academy which coaches 28 local children aged 5-11. The closure of the facility would force these children to travel at least two hours, three times a week, to get to the Olympic Park Aquatics Centre. This is likely to result in fewer children continuing with their diving classes and would inevitably deter more young people from getting involved in the future.
The Council is intending to spend £23m on refurbishing Copthall Leisure Centre and replacing the Church Farm swimming pool at a new facility in New Barnet, but argues that the cost of re-providing the diving facility at £676k is too much, and that it will reduce income by reducing the available space for swimming.
I ask the committee to re-consider, and to agree that a further options appraisal is brought back to the committee to include an option to retain the diving facility alongside expanded swimming facilities.
The options appraisal should also look at possible alternative funding streams including Sport England and the National Lottery to help retain a diving facility in Barnet.

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) December 19, 2013
NewVo Beauty comments on an article regarding treatments for dry, pale skin this winter, such as the use of Argan oil.
On December 11th, NY Daily News published an article titled "Winter weather solution: Oil up and save your skin" that details various ways to keep skin hydrated through the winter with the use of oils. Various oils such as cocoa butter oil, hazelnut oil, and grape seed oil are mentioned. However, the product at the forefront of this article is Argan oil. Argan oil originates in Morocco and is used cosmetically to restore moisture, shine, and softness to skin and hair.
Sara Greenstone, a representative from the online beauty supply store NewVo Beauty, comments, "Winter is the time to keep conscious of hydrating both skin and hair. Skin can become pale, dry, and cracked while hair can become damaged, brittle, and dull. Incorporating oils, such as Argan oil, into a daily routine will help restore healthy, glowing skin and strong, silky hair." She adds, "Even simple things like wearing a hat outside, especially when it is snowing or windy, can help protect hair from being stripped of its natural oils."
Greenstone says, "Something so many people do not think to incorporate into their winter routine is sunscreen. It is not just for summer. The sun and snow glare can also damage skin and hair. Using a moisturizer and a hairspray with SPF can help protect skin and hair from environmental damages this winter." She adds, "Wearing gloves will protect your hands from freezing and cracking due to the cold air. Gloves retain the moisture from your skin, ensuring your hands don't dry out. But watch out for wet gloves and socks, as they can cause itching, cracking and irritation."
NewVo Beauty sells over 5,000 professional beauty salon products. Committed to providing quality, hard-to-find premium products and great service, NewVo Beauty offers high-demand salon merchandise at affordable prices. They're available 24/7 to answer any queries to ensure customers have a great buying experience.

cut in
To mix a solid, cold fat (such as butter or shortening) with dry ingredients (such as a flour mixture) until the combination is in the form of small particles. This technique can be achieved by using a pastry blender, two knives, a fork or fingers (which must be cool so as not to melt the fat). A food processor fitted with a metal blade does an excellent job of cutting fat into dry ingredients, providing the mixture is not overworked into a paste.

I always focus on the user and the business' goals, when designing. I'm a fan of Steve Krugs stance for the user: Don't Make Me Think! On some of my projects, I did all the design work. I have a few where I acted as more of an art director and worked with another designer.
All websites are responsive, or prior to that, were mobile-friendly.
Due to the age of the projects, some are for clients that have closed their doors or moved to other designers since, so the work is not up.

How to get Media exposure to your sponsored event.
Local media events aimed at local exposure can be the most targeted of all sponsorships and will certainly be the least expensive.
Media exposure for local online talk shows,festival,competitor, the smaller the occasion or any other local event can offer market by market exposure to discrete audiences and can prove to be the most effective.
How to attract the media to your sponsored event.
The media is an important audience on their own account.With most sponsorships aimed at larger target audience that media are crucial to your succeeding in achieving your objectives.
This applies not only to general public or consumer audience, the media also matters when it comes to the trade press and your reach among your own industry and your show network.
Television is, of course, usually the most important medium. Unlike the press or radio, television can deliver both words and images and it is the latter that will make the most impression on your audiences as long as you can achieve name branding in the pictures that are transmitted.
If you or the show organizers handle the media badly you will severely limit the effectiveness of your sponsorship to those who attend the actual event; that could be disastrous.
The best events from the point of view of media coverage are often the most difficult to achieve branding and this should be borne in mind from the outset.
Do not assume that because you have just bought a property that traditionally achieves significant media exposure even if you have title rights.
How to design an media evaluation system that suits your sponsors needs.
Does it provide a good fit with the brand or corporate positioning?
It is unique, or is there a danger of it being submerged under other similar activities?
Does the media event have a legitimacy and identity of its own, or will it rely on the sponsor creating an identity?
Is the activity strongly associated with other media sponsors? Is sponsor clutter a problem?
Can the event be incorporated into your mainstream advertising?
Does the event, blog,talk show have a clean image, or is it associated with violence or hooliganism or drug taking?
Can the sponsor's name be associated with the event?
How visible will the sponsorship be?
What level of media coverage is expected?
Will television cover the event?
Will the talk show mention the sponsor's name?
Is signage available? What will be the amount, location,percentage of total and quality of signage?
Will competitors have access to signage? Remember that perimeter advertising or other signage can, like hospitality,Book signing,remote talk show,brochure advertising and many other links, often be bought at events without becoming a sponsor.
Will the audience be confused by co- sponsorship deals?
Determine whether the media sponsor's sales will be affected.
Has the media sponsorship have the potential to effect sales?
Are there any distribution benefits, either wholesale or retail?
Can your distributors get involved or be reached by the sponsorship? Are there any other trade tie in possibilities?
Are there any on-site sampling opportunities?
Are there any on-site sales outlets?
Are competitors able to sell on-site?
Common responses to media sponsorship proposals
The first response to a proposal is usually one of two types of replies. A polite, no thank you together with the information that the details of the proposal have been circulated to all other users of sponsorship who will reply directly if they have any interest will be the most common response.
If the proposal appears interesting, a sensible second stage is for the propose to be asked to complete a standard questionnaire that can be easily evaluated against corporate and brand requirements. You can base this questionnaire on the one you will have used to determine your own requirements.
If this second stage continues to demonstrate the media proposal has merit you will normally progress to a meeting at which you will undergo full evaluation.

Many treadmills come with multiple incline settings, but these can be confusing and unclear. A treadmill may have 10 settings, but that does not mean that each one corresponds to a 10 percent grade of incline. Knowing the treadmill incline percentage will help a person understand how hard she is working and will make it easier to enter workout information on online training tracker websites.
Step 1
Use a measuring tape to measure the length of the treadmill belt. Measure just the length of the belt, not the length of the entire treadmill.
Step 2
Use a straightedge to measure from the floor to the top of the treadmill belt when the treadmill is completely flat. Measure both the front and back of the belt to make sure both heights are equal and the belt is truly level. This is a zero percent incline.
Step 3
Set the treadmill to your chosen incline and remeasure the height of the front of the belt.
Step 4
Subtract to find the difference between the new height of the treadmill and the original height. For example, if the original height was 3 inches and the new height at an incline is 6 inches, the difference is 3.
Step 5
Divide the difference in height by the length of the treadmill belt. If your treadmill is 45 inches long and you determine the incline is 3 inches higher than it was at a zero percent incline, you have an incline grade of 3/45 or 6.7 percent.
Step 6
Repeat for your other incline settings. Write down all the incline grades so you do not forget.

Welcome to the final days before our boys are born. I am 37 weeks pregnant with twin boys if you missed the news. And while I think all the big things are in place, little things to clean, organize, or prepare keep pestering my mind. But at this point what will get done will get done. Rebekah and I both caught colds, so we are slowing down, resting, and recovering. I don't imagine being sick when the boys are born is the best scenario!
On my nightstand currently sets Birthing from Within: An Extra-Ordinary Guide to Childbirth Preparation (Amazon Affiliate Link) and Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. I read Ina May's book when I was pregnant with Rebekah. It gave me the shift in perspective and positive encouragement I so desperately needed. If you are interested in doing a natural birth, I cannot recommend this book enough! Plus, it is super on sale on Amazon right now (4/26/17).
Birthing from Within surprised me. It seemed a bit odd at first talking about birth art and whatnot (though I even came around to wanting to make or at least visualize some of my own). But it really helped me face down some of my fears of having a hospital birth since it speaks into the context of both homebirth and hospital birth. Plus, its chapter on Cesarean Birth has brought me a lot of peace as we prepare for different possibilities.
I felt so empowered after Rebekah's birth. Everything pretty much went as hoped and planned. However, our pregnancy with these twins has been full of surprises from the get go! Both boys are almost six pounds each and doing fantastic. Except they are still transverse and breech. Which means an automatic Cesarean Birth unless the first baby flips head down. I am headed to the chiropractor today and still trying what exercises I can manage to do. But I should have started the exercises much sooner. At this point it feels almost futile. But our OB and doula tell us that stranger things have happened, so I will press on!
Our OB is content to wait and give the boys time, as long as I don't dilate very much. If I start to dilate, then I am at risk for labor starting fast and a prolapsed cord. Fortunately, talking through the Cesarean option with her helped me to know that it isn't going to be all-out barbaric. And they will allow for it to be as gentle and family-centric as possible, even allowing the cords to stop pulsing before they cut or clamp them. And after a quick inspection, our boys will be set on my chest. Our hospital promotes skin-t0-skin contact and breastfeeding, which I appreciate.
Though I have still been writing in Rebekah's journal every couple months or so, I have yet to start writing in the boys' journals. I think Mitch and I are going to sit down and do that together here over the next couple days. I love the tradition of writing to our children. It allows us to speak love, share cherished memories, and write out prayers over them.
During these final days I'm trying to keep moving. With last-minute chores always springing up, the planting of spring flowers, "final" trips to the library, store, farmers' market, Goodwill, park, etc., visiting nearby friends, and attempting to wrap up a couple sewing projects for the boys, not to mention keeping my blog from becoming silent, and all the "paperwork" chores I detest, my days (like this horrible run-on sentence) seem like they could stretch on forever. And yet they fly by. And some days all I do is the bare minimum with lots of rest.
And that is what I think of at the end of the third trimester: the tension between nesting and finishing everything and the overwhelming desire to rest and sleep (when one's massively pregnant body allows it).
On the upside, I am celebrating this final leg with 1) way too much ice cream (I've got to use the pregnant excuse while I can right?) and 2) my favorite sale of the year: The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle! (Posts from last year's bundle.) It kicks off today and is packed with tons of resources and bonuses that I put to use throughout the year.
Here's a few of the ways I used the bundle from last year:
- I ordered the HopeInk bonus prints to help decorate in the middle school youth room at church.
- We used RightNow Media through MollyGreen for a girls' Bible study series.
- I enjoyed the free trial and free products from Grove Collective.
- The oil-based body wash from Bloom Naturals saved Rebekah's skin during the winter.
- I use my InkWell Press organizer every week.
- The Miracle Dough ebook is probably my most-used recipe book this past year.
- Plus, the bundle included tons, and I mean tons of fantastic ebooks on a variety of subjects. It can almost feel overwhelming with how much you get, but there is literally something for everyone. And I love that I have great recipes on hand, devotionals (often geared toward marriage and motherhood), books to spark creativity, simplistic, frugal living books, and so much more!
- Did I mention there were several free ecourses? Of course, I didn't have time to read it all, but once you download, the bundle never goes away. Which means I always have those resources on hand!
There are several things I am stoked about for this year. But I am starting with an ecourse on a Mom's Guide to Better Photos (regardless of the type of camera you have). Since we don't have much money to spend on a photographer for the boys and my camera has a slower shutter speed than I'd like, not to mention my minimal skills, I am hoping to get some tips for great DIY photoshoots!
Mitch and I are also starting to read Making Big Life Changes Together: Pursuing Your Dreams as a Couple by Haley Stewart. Since our major transition back in November, we have felt as though God is calling us both toward some joint endeavors. Working together was one of our favorite parts of youth ministry, and we feel like we have many common creative drives and passions. I cannot wait to read this book with him!
I think if you take the time to check out all this year's bundle has to offer, you will be just as excited as I am! The sale only lasts for six days, so act fast! Plus, if you buy during the first two days (through this Thursday), you get a free eReader upgrade. I plan on taking advantage of this so I can enjoy the ebooks on my kindle while nursing. 😉

Metal Detecting and Recovery in Surf and Deep Sand
Its a tricky thing to metal detect in heavy surf and large waves and on top of that carefully extract that gold ring from nearly a foot under the sand while attempting to maintain your balance and not loose the spot to dig. More than that you may see a large variety of scoops for sale but you have no idea what would work under those conditions and some scoops are very expensive and you don't want to purchase the wrong kind. Salt water hunting is a challenge but very rewarding to those who take up the challenge and pursue the gold. Did I mention that the hole collapses as the sand from the sides flows down to fill your hole before you can dig out the target? You certainly have to be on top of the job or you can get blasted from a large wave if you take your gaze away from the waves to look into your scoop or hit by a man-of-war stinging jellyfish that fill the waters here in the spring. Not worth it you say? but you would be wrong, its more fun than you might imagine and you can learn how to keep a watch out and dig rings at the same time. The most difficult thing for me is not losing the spot in strong currents when the undertow is pulling my scoop away from me and may cause me to loose my footing. I use a webbed dog leash to put on my detector belt and attach to the scoop handle so if I drop the scoop I can pull the leash and get it back without swimming underwater or feeling around for it as the current carries it away
It is one thing to read about it and another to experience it. If you live away from the beach you can still plan a vacation where you can hunt in the warm waters and sunny skies but you need to know what equipment to use and what to do to get ready. As I mentioned there are lots of different kinds of scoops and when you are choosing a scoop here is what you need to consider. First you need to get the job done fast and recover the rings without letting the sand collapse back into the hole and you will need a large bucket to do that.
Some scoops may LOOK big in the ad but you discover that the opening of the bucket is only four inches wide and that won't do in deeper water. You need to extract the object in the first try if possible and you need a big bucket to do that. The bucket should be at least 6 inches across the opening and 8 inches deep and have a long heavy handle that will allow you to use the leverage to pry up the sand without breaking the scoop. One more consideration is that if you have problems with your back the large scoop may be a problem to you and you will just have to get by with a smaller one because you get a bucket of heavy and I mean HEAVY sand and you have to lift it to the top of the water and slop it back and forth to melt it down to your ring it will get to your back quick. In the water many hunters dig everything so you can see that this might be a problem for you. I have used a smaller scoop in the surf and that might be all you can take with you on vacation but the problem is that the sand collapses back into the hole and it takes forever to extract the ring. Once you get a scoop there are several things you must do to prepare it.
Mark the handle on the back side away from the opening so that you can see it in the surf because you may get the scoop backwards under the water and not notice it. Use 1/4 inch hardware cloth, available at your hardware store to insert around inside the scoop and cut a piece for the bottom that will just fit inside it. This does two things, it means that you will not loose the small jewelry and chains and it means that the sand will take longer to melt! I will spend the time to do it right the first time because there is nothing that drives me crazy like digging a deep target only to have it fall through the 5/8 inch holes over and over! Some folks like to glue a small magnet to the middle bottom inside of your scoop to catch the small magnetic trash. However I got tired of the black fuzzy ball of junk there and took it off mine. It only takes about 20 minutes to fit the hardware cloth into the scoop and then I use bread ties to twist around the wire to hold it in where I can remove it if I want to. Once I got a gold ring between the wire and the scoop and almost never noticed it. Next look for the obvious places that are sharp which will tear your hands up when you use the scoop and wrap them up with duct tape so you can't cut yourself with the scoop.
If the water is cool or there are stinging jellyfish in the water then you can bring the cheap vinyl waders and a pair of old large tennis shoes so you don't get stung. I like the creamy cocoa butter (the lifeguards use) for a skin cream and I know that it doesn't have a SPF rating for ultraviolet but I can hunt with it on all day and never get a sunburn and it doesn't rub off on your clothes.
My scoop cost me just a little over $100 at Amazon. If you decide to sell your gold items then please do not sell them to a pawn shop because you will not get anything for them. Instead they can be displayed in a nice ring display box with prices and you can sell them like hotcakes at the flea market.
One more thing, when you are surf hunting always face out to sea and never, never turn around. I was hunting one morning when the sea was as calm as glass and I was having fun and not paying attention when I heard something. I looked around and saw a wave that was 3 1/2 to 4 foot high and racing to me and I was in the deep water!! I have no idea what caused it but there was a series of large waves after that and it dunked me before I could get back to shallow water and shocked me that a large wave like that could just come up on a still sea so keep your eyes out to sea at all times you may even see a large black fin cutting the water like I did. The sea is realtime life and exciting but never to be taken for granted.

You may find it hard to believe, but we at The Boozy Bunch have other interests besides food. In fact, several of us have been part of a book club (that we created) for a few years now. Because of our interest in food and drinks (we all kind of became friends because of it), we try to find a corresponding restaurant to match up & make a theme out of the evening. For example, when we read The Boys from Brazil, we went to a German bierkeller. Or when we read a book about Hungarian immigrants in London, we went to Gay Hussar for authentic Hungarian Food. Not only do we get to read new and interesting books, we get to try out restaurants we may not choose on our own. So when Bella chose the book The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat, by Oliver Sacks, we hit a bit of an issue with where to go. I mean, it's a book with case studies about brain functions. Luckily, Bella is from Scotland, so I suggested the Scottish restaurant Mac & Wild as a place to dine (at least it's some sort of connection). Luckily, everyone agreed, and so our Boozy Book Bunch in January was planned (although we have members that come that aren't writers for the blog.)
When we arrived, we were shown to our table in the downstairs part of the restaurant, which unfortunately is a bit darker than the upstairs dining area. I definitely would prefer more lighting, but it's not a deal breaker at all. We decided to order some drinks until everyone arrived. At Mac & Wild, most of the cocktails seemed whisky based, but I ended up going for a flight of Islay whiskies. I had had two of the three brands in the past, but there was a new one, so I was willing to give it a go. Others ordered some of the cocktails and/or wine, but I think I ended up sticking with the whisky. The only down side of the whisky is that they are all served with a bottle of water – great because some people really like water with their whisky (I don't), but I also know that sometimes people just want a drop or two (which was hard to get out of the bottle). Maybe a plastic pipette to go with would be a great addition to make that easier.
Once our sextet was complete, food became a top priority. Now Mac & Wild apparently have an award winning burger: The Venimoo, with one venison and one beef patty. It was incredibly tempting. But my eye kept wandering toward the partridge wellington. I mean, I love wellingtons. Who doesn't love some meat wrapped in pastry? I had recently had an unfortunately less-than-stellar partridge dish a few days before with my partner, and I felt the need for some partridge redemption. So against my better judgement, I went for it, while two others around the table ordered the burger (with the addition of a deep-fried haggis patty as well, because Scottish!), two others ordered the venison steak frites and our token (mostly) vegetarian got the grilled cauliflower. We also decided to get some haggis pops to start, and I was dying to try the 72-hr bone broth, so I ordered a cup of that (with chilli!) to try as well. We also split practically all the sides, including the haggis mac and cheese (because more haggis = more Scottish awesomeness).
Next came a lot of book discussion: I was mixed on the book, but a lot of other people seemed to enjoy it. I kind of felt it was dated as it was written pre-1980, so there was a lot of really terrible assumptions about people with brain trauma that really irked me. I felt that it could have been updated by the author a bit, as in the afterword he even mentioned that he probably wouldn't have said things the way he did now. Bella was a huge fan, and it's her field of expertise. Starters were absolutely amazing. The haggis pops were delicious, and everyone loved the dipping sauce (we even saved it in case we needed to dip something from our mains in it). The bone broth is worth getting. I found it to be like a meaty tea. Maybe as an American who didn't grow up with tea being a "thing", I was good with it, but others at the table didn't really enjoy it as much as I did (good thing I ordered it, and they didn't). The chili broth added just a tiny bit of spice, so the back of the throat tingled a bit while drinking it. It's something I would have on any cold day. I just fell in love with it. So I highly recommend giving it a try if you come to the restaurant. I also loved the signs on the toilets. Very fun and just gave you more of that Scottish feeling.
The mains and sides came, and everything looked absolutely gorgeous. The burger looked fantastic, and I did get a bit of food envy. Although when my wellington arrived, that did go away a bit, because it looked fantastic as well. They even recommended whiskies to go with your meal (instead of the usual suggested wine pairing), so I made sure to order a glass of whatever they recommended to go with it. The venison steaks were perfectly cooked, and I think everyone wanted to get into the mac and cheese and quickly as possible. All the food I tried was delicious. The mac and cheese is one of the best I've had in a restaurant (and the addition of haggis is amazing, will be doing that at home in the future). The wellington was really delicious with perfectly cooked pastry and soft, moist partridge breast inside. The legs were even served on the side. I managed to score a bite of one of the burgers, and it was as tasty as it looked. Of the sides (mash, chips and some veggies), the chips were probably the weakest link. The greens with black pudding were fantastic, and the mash was really smooth and creamy. I really have zero complaints about my meal, as the tastes were pretty spectacular. My previous worry about ordering the partridge was completely unfounded.
Some of us did go for dessert. I wanted to try the cheese board, and Andrew ordered the sticky toffee pudding. Some of us also wanted the hot toddy (but mostly because we were denied them at Kettner's for the last book outing – we had read Agatha Christie and it was one of her favorite restaurants while she was alive), and unfortunately we were told they were out. Even more disappointment. But then, we were told the ingredients magically appeared, so hot toddies were enjoyed by us as well. The cheese board is a great selection of cheeses, and I'm pretty sure my partner would be quite happy with that when (not if) we go back. Because he needs to experience it as well.
All in all, we had a great night. They were really promoting the Burns Night specials (and if I hadn't already had plans, I think I would have tried to come). Bella was telling us all about the ode to haggis, but we also managed to get one of the owners (maybe? I dunno he was Scottish, so maybe I'm assuming too much) to come over and give us the run down about Burns Night. The food is really something special, and I definitely need to come back. They also do whisky tastings on the last Saturday of the month, so I will probably be booking one of those to do as well. The venison tartare starter was calling my name as well, so that will be on the must-try list for next time. Even as we were leaving, someone came outside with us and asked us how everything was. They seem really passionate about the food and the restaurant, and they are a lovely, friendly bunch.

One of the biggest perks in Keith's job is the fabulous tickets he gets. Over the years we've been to concerts, plays, all types of sporting events, professional bull riding, Disney on ice, etc. Recently he scored some seriously great tickets to the Jazz game. There was a nice V.I.P. dinner before hand and then we watched the game from these fabulous seats! Second row under the basket. I'm talking about the black folding chair seats on the floor! We seriously could have thrown our popcorn at the players bench, we were that close! We even entered the arena from below. We walked right past the locker room! It was pretty fun! We even made the news! A shot of us talking behind the players as they warmed up!
BTW Gordon Hayward is my favorite player! Isn't he adorable! I love how clean cut and innocent he looks compared to all the other tattooed players! I got a high five from him as they were leaving the court!
Go Jazz!

I used to be afraid of eating those colors and designs until I learned that they are all made from colored cocoa butter. Extra cocoa butter on a chocolate isn't a bad thing in my opinion.
Keep in mind that the chocolate on the inside could be dark, milk, or white. It doesn't have to match the exterior.
Go ahead - eat those gorgeous works of art!
Keep sending your chocolate questions!

Coca-Cola's Jonathan Mildenhall on how he started a creative revolution at Coca-Cola - and why creativity is everyone's responsibility. Mildenhall spoke last night (21st November 2013) alongside IPA President Ian Priest about creativity and creative leadership.
"We are creatively bankrupt," Coca-Cola's Jonathan Mildenhall remembers being bluntly told by his new CEO as he arrived in Atlanta in 2006 to take up his job as vice president of global advertising strategy and content excellence. Not any more. Cannes Advertiser of the Year in 2013, and winner in recent years of more than 100 Cannes Lions, Coca-Cola is now, says Mildenhall, a company that believes "creativity is a competitive advantage."
It's a company so comfortable in its skin that it's happy to make its Content 2020 'creative thoughtware' credo public. And it's a company, Mildenhall is quick to point out, whose share price has risen 130pc to an all-time high since its embrace of creativity. "Creativity and commercial success go hand in hand," says Mildenhall. "The data is bullet proof."
Things have changed for Mildenhall too, promoted last week to Senior Vice President of Integrated Marketing Communications and Design Excellence for North America.
The consummate professional – swigging from a bottle of Coke beside some artful product placement – a relaxed Mildenhall was last night (21st November 2013) hosted by IPA President Ian Priest for a conversation about creativity and creative leadership in front of 120 guests at Imagination.
The evening was part of Priest's ADAPT agenda designed to promote commercial creativity. Mildenhall is also a member of the IPA's Client Council.
The key to Coca-Cola's change, says Mildenhall, was understanding that creativity is everyone's responsibility and remit, individually and inside the organisation. "To change, Coke had to take creativity in the widest sense back from the agencies. It couldn't belong only to the hairy elites of agency creative departments," he says.
Creative credo
"We couldn't change what was in the bottle, but we could innovate around it [in our communications]," Mildenhall says of the creative principles he developed with his team and agencies and then took out to 200-plus markets. They are:
Money and time
Mildenhall also pushed out other significant changes that drove creativity. One was shifting agency remuneration towards value rather than output, so now an agency can earn a margin of up to 30pc on projects that meet targets. "Equally," he says, "if the work performs badly, an agency can lose all its margin entitlement. Overall, though, we share the risk and double the reward."
The second was the allocation of budgets and time to innovation – in which 70pc of the budget and 50pc of the time goes on low-risk, proven ideas; 20pc of the budget and 25pc of the time on innovation around those low-risk ideas; and 10pc of the budget and 25pc of the time on high-risk ideas.
Creative leadership
Stressing that there are no management guides or textbooks on managing creatives or creativity, Mildenhall spelt out his nine principles of creative leadership…
A man completely on top of his subject, Mildenhall took questions from the audience and gave his thoughts on a wide range of subjects.
On embracing effectiveness: "The IPA Effectiveness Awards were essential schooling for me. Agency briefings start with the financial and commercial imperatives."
On the future of TV: "It's alive if you treat it as a new medium and fuse it with new technology," he says, citing the Hong Kong 'Chok' promotion with which Coke linked an app that allowed teenagers to interact.
On allowing competitors, including Pepsi, to see its Content 2020 strategy: "They could see what we were doing, but they didn't have our brands or our people."
On content marketing: "It's the substance of brand engagement and conversation…content should be wrapped around everything."
On global vs local advertising: "There's always a tension. Currently, 70pc of our work originates from global insights and core creative ideas that can't be replicated by local consumers, and 30pc from local insight."
On transforming Coke's creative culture: "The trick is to find people who want to change and lead the way, rather than force it on them."
On the current jewel in Coca-Cola's crown: "It's 'Small World Machine', made by Leo Burnett, about bringing people in India and Pakistan together, allowing them to communicate without words."
Mildenhall ended the evening by summing up how to achieve better commercial creativity: "It's not 'us and them'; you have to take the 'we' approach.
Mildenhall is currently writing a book, 'Creativity is King', to be published soon. His Twitter handle is @mildenhall or you can find him here and here.
Key to IPA President Ian Priest's ADAPT agenda is for agencies and client to join together to move the advertising industry forwards towards a new era of commercial creativity.

Happy Monday.....
So as part of "Holding myself accountable" I worked yesterday for about 3 hrs on my business.
Purchased a shelf on Saturday so that I can organize my products, which will also allow me to update my inventory faster. Previously I had my inventory in boxes which made it difficult to manage.
I removed all my holiday gift baskets and placed all the products remaining on the shelves. The baskets were neatly unwrapped and put in boxes for 2012 holiday events.
Here is a preview of my shelf
I still have a few other things I need to add like my file folder with order forms and things from facial classes. Also to help me with my customer service calls.
I have to print out some activity sheets and purchase I binder so I have it in one place.
Well off to work I go....
Have to get some bookings :)
Have a great day/evening (I guess it depends on when you are reading this right )
PS. This weekend was leadership Conference in Atlanta and I didn't get to go :'( Why you may be asking because I wasn't focused and didn't grow my business. This year we had 5 National Sales Directors all Latinas....Isn't that amazing! It is said that 20% of Mary Kay Sales Force is now occupied by Latin Women.... Isn't that great :)

When: Fri., Sept. 9, 10 p.m. 2011
Fresh Analog Music Experience (FAME) is almost an oxymoron: Four producers perform "live" -- like, in band form -- using turntables, synthesizers, and sound monitors as their instruments. They're "analog" in the sense of eschewing laptops and software, and they're an "experience" by virtue of the fact that they sometimes improvise. That said, the whole concept is still pretty modern and futuristic. FAME fits snugly into the theme of Mission Creek Music and Arts Festival, a Bay Area-wide event that showcases underground and independent artists without favoring any particular style or genre. Though it mostly features live bands, the festival will hold a "Mission Block" DJ event this Friday, Sept. 9, at Mezzanine (444 Jessie St., San Francisco), with FAME as the headliner. Also on the lineup: DJ Touré of Oakland hip-hop crew Hieroglyphics, electronic producer ProfesorPanson (distinguished by his obvious sweet tooth for video game sounds), and rapper Megabusive, backed by DJ Dimitri SFC. 9 p.m., $12.

text: 2 Chainz at Showbox in Seattle 1st Avenue South Seattle, WA. WEBSITE: http://www.showboxpresents.com Photos ON the Maps 2 Chainz / Showbox / Seattle / August 20th / Tickets 2 Chainz, formerly known as Tity Boi, is an American Rapper from College Park, Georgia. His real name is Tauheed Epps. He is one of the two members of the Southern hip hop duo, Playaz Circle, the other member being his fellow rapper, Earl "Dolla Boy" Conyers. They are best known for being signed to rapper Ludacris' Disturbing Tha Peace label. They are also renowned for their debut single "Duffle Bag Boy". For education, 2 Chainz attended North Clayton High School and graduated second in his class. He graduated from Alabama State University, where he got in on a scholarship to play for the Hornets Basketball Team. During high school, 2 Chainz formed the hip hop duo "Playaz Circle" with his fellow rapper, Dolla boy. At the time, he was known as Tity Boi, a moniker he gave himself to represent being the only child his mom breastfed. The duo met fellow Atlanta rapper, Ludacris, when he moved into their College Park apartment complex. After a few records with Ludacris, the duo signed to his newly formed record label, Disturbing the Peace, a subsidiary of Def Jam Recordings. Their Debut Album Supply and Demand was released on October 30, 2007. Their debut single "Duffle Bag Boy" became an urban hit single. The duo released their second studio album "Flight 360: The Takeoff" on September 29, 2009, and in January 2010, they filmed a music video for their single "Big Dawg" featuring Lil Wayne and Birdman. 2 Chainz left Disturbing the Peace, a move he claimed was taken so he could advance in his career. In early 2011, he changed his stage name from 'Tity Boi', a name frequently speculated by critics and fans alike to be derogatory, to '2 Chainz', which he perceived to be more 'family friendly'. He then released a mixtape entitled T.R.U REALigion. This was his first mixtape to hit the charts, peaking at number 58 on the US BILLboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. On March 24, 2012, 2 Chainz announced his debut studio album, Based on a T.R.U. The story, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, selling 147,000 copies in its first week. On May 23, 2013, he announced his second studio album 'B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time' to be released on September 10, 2013. The album featured guest appearances in various songs from Pharrell Williams, Fergie, Drake, Lil Wayne, Pusha T, Mase, Chrisette Michele, Iamsu!, T-Pain, Dolla Boy, Rich Homie Quan, and Lloyd among others. The album's production was handled by Diplo, Mike WiLL Made It, Drumma Boy, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Mannie Fresh, Wonder Arillo, Da Honorable C-Note and DJ Toomp among others. It debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, and number two in the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart selling 63,000 copies in its first week. On October 23, 2013, he revealed his third studio album. On January 6, 2015, 2 Chainz announced that he was starting his own independent record label "The Real University" (also known as "T.R.U."; or "The Real U"). In November 2015, he revealed that he was releasing a joint album with Lil Wayne, titled 'ColleGrove'. 2 Chainz's official YouTube channel 2ChainzVevo has a subscriber count of 1.1 million. Some more information is available in his bio on his website. 2 Chainz was born on September 12, 1977, as the only child. His father was in and out of prison a lot of times during his childhood, so his mother raised him alone. In an interview with The urban Daily, he said "The fact that my mom raised me, used to bother my pop. He didn't know if a woman could raise a man. And they'd have differences of opinions all the time. My pops used to tell me things from prison and as soon as he hung up my mom would say 'don't listen to him". After his father's death, he revealed that losing his father was very heartbreaking and hard for him as he lost someone he could trust, confide in and communicate with, but the experience also made him stronger and independent. 2 Chainz has had a lot of legal issues in his life, his first conviction being at the age of 15 for felony cocaine possesion. In his life, he has been arrested for marijuana possetion, narcotics possetion, unlicensed gun ownership, etc. He has even been robbed at gunpoint outside a medical marijuana dispensary in San Fransisco. 2 Chainz is in the relationship with Nakesha Ward and has three children: 2 daughters, Heaven and Harmony and a son, Halo. He and his fiancé haven't been married yet. Famous celebrities often have a lot of rumors revolving around them. 2 Chainz has confirmed that the robbery at Atlanta was just a rumor spread by others.

Gigi Hadid appeared to be in a playful mood on Sunday night (January 21) as she left her apartment in New York.
This is another example of the model's mastery of athleisure.
A Paradised 'Time To Dance' sweatshirt and Prada boots were topped off with a bubblegum pink leather and shearling Burberry jacket.
The preppy-punk styling in the lookbook was polished yet cool, but I applaud her for going in her own direction and using the topper to elevate the casual pieces.
An Okhtein bag and Illesteva sunglasses upped the girlish charm.
Some might question wearing sunglasses at night, but they do help make the look.

At least that's what some people thought the Environmental Protection Agency was up to and the story spread quickly. Twitter and some conservative media outlets picked it up.
And with each repetition, it appeared to gain more credibility.
The alleged EPA drones supposedly were dispatched from the Kansas City, Kan., site of the agency's regional headquarters, to check on whether cow manure was fouling water supplies.
For EPA critics, the notion of spy planes hovering over the heartland was just too good to pass up.
"The idea of the EPA flying drones over Missouri farmland is deeply disturbing," U.S. Rep. Todd Akin of Missouri wrote in a letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. "The EPA assumes that Missouri farmers are the bad guys and are overreaching yet again trying to find any possible reason to harass farmers."
Except that there are no EPA "drones" flying over Missouri farmland, according to EPA officials. Or anywhere else, for that matter.
The anti-pollution agency has been sending up smallpiloted
planes over cattle operations in Nebraska, as well as Iowa, to check for polluted runoff and potential violations of the Clean Water Act. Both states, along with Missouri and Kansas, are part of the same EPA Region VII.
But neither Missouri nor Kansas has been subject to similar inspection flights, according to the agency.
"When a story comes out about how government is misbehaving, then people who are suspicious of the government are much more likely to pick up on that information," said John Green, director of the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron. "In the online world this kind of phenomenon can happen literally at the speed of light."
The controversy began last month when the Nebraska congressional delegation wrote the EPA's Jackson raising privacy questions about "a series of aerial surveillance flights" over livestock farms.
"Flying over private property is very different than flying over a chemical manufacturing plant, or even an open field," said Kristen Hassebrook, director of natural resources and environmental affairs for the Nebraska Cattlemen, an industry trade group. "You're flying over a facility that has a private home. The practice itself is what's concerning to producers."
However, neither the lawmakers in their letter nor the cattlemen ever used the word "drone."
"I don't know where the word 'drone' first came up," Hassebrook said. "I spent two days just emailing and making phone calls telling people that there are no drones."
An EPA spokesman could not be reached to publicly comment, but the agency has made no secret of using piloted flights for several years to inspect for Clean Water Act problems.
"For the record, the only aircraft the EPA has used to verify compliance with environmental laws are manned aircraft," according to a letter from Karl Brooks, EPA regional administrator in Kansas City, Kan., to Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska.
Brooks said the flights were an "important, cost-effective tool to help protect local communities and water quality from harm that can result from discharges from these facilities."
Drones, however, quickly became the story.
"EPA drones spy on farmers in Nebraska and Iowa" was the headline in The Daily Caller, a conservative website. "Send in The Drones: Obama Spies on America" topped a piece on the website Investors.com
On Fox News — which subsequently corrected its report about EPA drones — anchorwoman Megyn Kelly seemed to bump up the paranoia-meter.
"You got to picture yourself, right, as one of these Midwestern farmers because what's been in the news lately?" she reported. "That President Obama has killed more terrorists with drones than any other president. That President Obama has a so-called 'kill list' and that on that 'kill list' sometimes civilian casualties go as well You've got to get a little squeamish when you see a drone going overhead."
Predictions that multitudes of unmanned aircraft could be flying over the United States within a decade are raising the specter of a "surveillance society" in which no home or backyard would be off limits to prying eyes overhead.
Law enforcement, oil companies, farmers, real estate agents and many others have seen the technology that was pioneered on battlefields, and they are eager to put it to use.
Indeed, the government is in the early stages of devising rules for the unmanned aircraft. So far, civilian use of drones is fairly limited. The Federal Aviation Administration had issued fewer than 300 permits for drones by the end of last year.
Public worries about drones began mostly on the political margins, but there are signs that they're going mainstream.
Jeff Landry, a freshman Republican congressman from Louisiana's coastal bayou country, said constituents have stopped him while shopping at Walmart to talk about their concerns.
"There is a distrust amongst the people who have come and discussed this issue with me about our government," Landry said. "It's raising an alarm with the American public."
Fear that some drones may be armed, for example, has been fueled in part by a county sheriff's office in Texas that used a homeland security grant to buy a $300,000, 50-pound ShadowHawk helicopter drone for its SWAT team. The drone can be equipped with a 40mm grenade launcher and a 12-gauge shotgun.
Randy McDaniel, chief deputy with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, told The Associated Press earlier this year his office had no plans to arm the drone, but he left open the possibility the agency might decide to adapt the drone to fire tear gas canisters and rubber bullets.
Earlier this year Congress, under pressure from the Defense Department and drone manufacturers, ordered the FAA to give drones greater access to civilian airspace by 2015. Besides the military, the mandate applies to drones operated by private companies or individuals and civilian government agencies, including federal, state and local law enforcement.
The military, which is bringing home unmanned aircraft from Afghanistan, wants room to test and use them.
But the potential civilian market for drones may far eclipse military demand. Power companies want them to monitor transmission lines. Journalists are exploring drones' newsgathering potential. Police departments want them to chase crooks, conduct search and rescue missions and catch speeders.
However, concern is spreading. U.S. Rep. Austin Scott said he first learned of the issue when someone shouted out a question about drones at a meeting in his Georgia district two months ago.
When Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell suggested during an interview on Washington radio station WTOP last month that drones be used by police since they've done such a good job on foreign battlefields, the political backlash was swift.
NetRightDaily complained: "This seems like something a fascist would do. ... McDonnell isn't pro-Big Government, he is pro-HUGE Government."

So many stores have sales every week, but Zara only has sales twice a year. These are the only times that you can get even better deals on their clothing and accessories. Let's shop the sale and see what looks good.
Remember the red cardigan I posted about here? Now you can save $30 and get this great jacket for $99.
Oh, and I saw this dress on Katie Holmes the other day and thought about picking it up. Seriously, for $60 this dress is a great way to add a fun colorful print to your summer.
Aztec prints are everywhere this summer and this cute top fits that trend and also would look great with cutoff shorts or dressed up with skinny white jeans and sky-high sandals. Oh and the sheer fabric will keep you cool, even when it's 100 degrees outside.
I'm still buying Chanel looking jackets by the dozen. I love how they dress up any simple tee-shirt and jeans combo without looking like I'm trying to hard. I've had my eye on this one since it first came out. Love the red beading on the neckline and the gray tone of the jacket. I can see this jacket being worn with a simple black sheath dress.
I'm on a search for blue shoes. These sandals are perfect, if they had them in my size. The best part is how the cross over strap securely keeps your feet in place, even when walking around in heels.
It's going to be a hot one today and this romper would be the perfect outfit. I love the tropical print and could totally see it paired with short taupe booties and a jean jacket for the cooler nights. At $26 you will not find a better deal on such a cute romper.
Get your shopping on people! Summer demands cute outfits for these busy hot days.

I love a hot bowl of oatmeal in the morning. It fills me up and I know it is good for me. It is packed full of nutrition and antioxidants, it is high in fiber, protein and low in saturated fat and sodium. When I add fresh fruit to my oatmeal, I am getting an extra boost of nutrition. A few of my favorite oatmeal toppings are:
- Granola
- Blueberries
- Sliced Strawberries
- Chia Seeds
- Cinnamon
- Baked Coconut Flakes
- Dried Cherries
- Dark brown sugar
- Greek Yogurt with honey
Oatmeal is so versatile though, it does not just have to be for breakfast. Here is some inspiration for using oatmeal outside of the breakfast bowl.

Batman and Robin #9
- Story by
- Peter J. Tomasi
- Art by
- Andy Clarke, Keith Champagne, Lee Garbett, and Ray McCarthy
- Colors by
- John Kalisz
- Letters by
- Dezi Sienty
- Cover by
- John Kalisz, Mick Gray, and Patrick Gleason
- Publisher
- DC Comics
The idea behind "Batman and Robin" #9 is a solid one; Peter J. Tomasi lets Robin take control of the title during the "Night of the Owls" event, with Damian Wayne having to save the leader of Gotham City's National Guard. But somewhere along the way, "Batman and Robin" #9 turns a bit silly. The problem is, I don't think it was supposed to be.
"Batman and Robin" #9 starts out well enough. Tomasi generally speaking handles Robin's voice with just the right tone of righteousness with a touch of snotty, and his instant arguing with Alfred over saving Major General Burrows instead of helping Batman works. But as soon as Robin gets to the Gotham Barrens, it starts sliding downhill. Robin ordering the military around should be great but ends up feeling ridiculous. The character becomes shrill, and in some ways almost a parody of the Damian Wayne we've been reading about the last couple of years. The character's always had an attitude, but this is a bit much.
The art follows a similar trend under guest penciler Lee Garbett. Early pages made me initially think that it was regular penciler Patrick Gleason, with open and clean figures and a nice rounded line. It devolves a bit, though; Burrows looming over Robin looks more like Mr. Hyde from Marvel Comics than a regular person and the decapitated couple in the moods just looks ludicrous. There are also some structural problems; for example when the Talon leaps through the air to grab Robin and Burrows, he apparently jumps fast enough to actually get in front of the rocket-powered duo, rather than having grabbed from behind. A lot of panels also are either without a background at all, or have one through the work of colorist John Kalisz using a pattern of colors to denote foliage.
There is, however, a great two-page spread by Andy Clarke whose work I've missed a great deal as of late. Clarke uses his incredibly detailed style to give a beautiful flashback to the time of the Revolutionary War; between the intricate lines and the sepia colors from Kalisz, it reminds the reader of wood cuts. It's a great way to deliver this sequence, and it's the high point of the comic by far.
"Batman and Robin" #9 is a comic that starts off good, but it's just unable to maintain that early mood through either the script or the art. Ultimately it feels like it's just missing the mark a bit; not bad, but should have been a whole lot better than the final product. Still, for that two-page spread from Tomasi and Clarke alone, I thank them. More like that, please.
